12 Men Share Their Honest Feelings About People Hitting On Their Partner

“Why would I care at all if someone flirted with my girlfriend? There would only be cause for any sort of reaction if she started flirting back.” — RamsesThePigeon

“I just step in and put my arm around her back or grab her hand (letting them know we are together and not just friends out). I don’t mind people being friendly. At the end of the day, we’re going home together.” — MsCardeno

“I just shrug it off. I trust her to not fall for that stuff, and she doesn’t put herself into situations where that could happen anyway. If anything, be happy that other people also think she’s beautiful.” — Judoka229

“Used to be very jealous. One day my manager (YES!) explained to me, that no matter how much you try, if she wants to cheat on you, she will. That day I was healed completely.” — Nathaniel66

“It’s kind of a turn on knowing other people think she’s hot too, but I also get pissed at the same time. It’s a strange feeling.” — [deleted]

“As long as they don’t make her feel uncomfortable by inappropriate reaching, trying to whisper, etc. I don’t mind. It makes me feel kind of happy/smug sometimes. You can’t just magically know who is taken! Also, I let her handle it unless she specifically indicates she wants help.” — [deleted]

“Amusement. I trust my wife and she trusts me. It’s fun watching the wind go out of their sails.” — LeicaM6guy

“Depends on the context. If we’re out a bar and she goes off on her own to order drinks, I’m not going to be pissed if a guy sees an attractive girl at the bar and takes a shot. I know she loves me, and I know who she’s going home with, it doesn’t matter. It only bothers me if someone knows we are together and still tries to get flirty with her. Luckily, she’s pretty quick to drop the B word, which takes the wind out of most guys sails. Basically, if it’s innocent because they think she’s single, I couldn’t care less. But if it’s someone that knows she’s in a relationship, that can be bothersome sometimes. Have only had one instance in almost two years where I actually had to say something to a guy. He saw us being a in relationship as a challenge rather than a deterrent.” — JohnyUtah_

“I enjoy it and hope they buy her a drink, thus saving me $7 on a cocktail…” — Bull_Market_Bully

“I’m happy for her. At age 73, she looks better than most women in their 50s. She thinks it’s fun.” — MpVpRb

“I don’t mind it at all, my wife is super attractive and very approachable. I am however disturbed by how many men keep hitting on women even after they tell them they’re married.” — GlastonBerry48

“It rarely happens when I am around, but when it does, I am almost always amused because I know my girlfriend loves me more than anything which makes me not worry at all. A lot of people might get mad when a guy flirts with her, but I realized that if I got mad at everyone who flirted with my girlfriend I would have 0 friends and be mad all the time, so I usually just laugh when I see it happening.” — gumdroplava
